On execution, they build and analyse financial models and valuations, produce client materials, coordinate internal and external advisers, run diligence and support negotiations across M&A and capital markets processes. Our Associates also play a key part in delivering corporate broking advice to our clients: they support coverage of retained listed clients by staying close to markets, clearly explaining market dynamics and drivers to management teams, and bringing market context into ongoing corporate finance and strategy dialogue.

• Corporate Broking – supporting investor relations and management teams on ongoing corporate finance and equity-market related topics, and contributing to the retained adviser dialogue
• M&A – executing public and private transactions, including valuation work, financial analysis, process management and materials preparation
• ECM – working alongside specialist teams on IPOs and equity raise processes (e.g., rights issues, accelerated bookbuilds and placings)
• DCM / Leveraged Finance & LBOs – supporting financing analysis and execution in partnership with product teams
• Defence and activism planning – supporting clients in preparedness, scenario analysis and execution when required

Your expertise:

• A degree from a university
• History of academic and professional achievement
• Financial modelling and valuation experience
• Financial and accounting skills
• Presentation and communication skills
• Experience training / managing junior team members
